OVERRATED: 'Looper' (2012):

Handout, MCT

Earning strong reviews upon its release, this action movie showed potential but ultimately stumbled into something frustrating. The risky choice to make up Joseph Gordon-Levitt to resemble Bruce Willis caused more distraction than suspension of disbelief, and all the talk of time travel proved to be a red herring as the movie became something much more familiar and far less thought-provoking than its ambitions.
